The brainchild of a certain Matt Pearson , who runs Alauda - " the world ' s first performance electric flying car manufacturer " - it is hoped that the planned global race series will eventually see a full grid of eVTOL ( electric Vertical Take- Off and Landing ) craft , manufactured by Alauda , managed by individual teams , and operated by elite pilots , compete at heights of up to 40 m off the ground and at top speeds of 200 km / h . The air races will take place on electronically created tracks and be streamed globally , minimizing the environmental impact of more complex logistics and infrastructure . Alauda ' s Mk 3 is described as " the world ' s first fully functional electric flying racing car ." Pod racing anyone ? www . airspeeder . com
